"When the debris from the tail of Planet X first started arriving in ernest, in 2004, the establishment chose to call this space junk. When the public became alarmed at the amount of space junk falling to Earth they tried to enhance the story by claiming that two satellites had crashed into each other, but this just made a bad story worse. Since fireballs have not gone away, but continued apace and if anything gotten worse, a new term has been used - asteroids. This is debris in the tail of Planet X, which is increasingly turning toward the Earth, hosed out from the N Pole of Planet X. This is why the wobble has gotten more violent, why electromagnetic disruption of dams and airplanes has occurred, and why blackouts will become more frequent. There will also be displays in the sky, some of which has already been noticed, from the electromagnetic tides assaulting the Earth's atmosphere. Stay tuned, more to come!"

Reports of a "bright light" and an "orange glow" were received by police across Scotland and the north of England around 9.40pm.

The Met Office tweeted: "Hi All, for anyone seeing something in the night sky, we believe it was a meteorite."

A spokesman for Strathclyde Police said the force had been "inundated" with calls about a bright object in the sky across the west of Scotland. A Durham Police spokeswoman said a number of calls came in around 9.45pm from concerned members of public who had seen a "bright light or a fire in the sky" and believed it may have been incidents involving an aircraft. "

It has been confirmed with air traffic control that there are no incidents of aircraftin difficult and nothing registered on radar," she said. "

The sightings are believed to be either an asteroid burning out or similar which has been restricted to the upper atmosphere only." Grampian Police said reports of people seeing a "flare or a bright object with a tail" were received from across the region. And Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary said numerous calls were made about a "large ball of fire in the sky" across Annandale and Eskdale.

One user wrote on the force's Facebook page: "It was awesome to see! Really big and bright!" Hundreds of people took to Twitter to report similar sightings across Scotland and the north of England. People described seeing a bright fireball moving across the sky with a large tail.

The Kielder Observatory also reported the sighting of a "huge fireball" travelling from north to south over Northumberland at 9.41pm. The Observatory posted on Twitter: "Of 30 years observing the sky #fireball best thing I have ever seen period."

A meteor has exploded above Wales causing a sonic boom which shook windows and set off car alarms.

Early Thursday morning Jason Sarabia saw a bright meteor shoot across the sky.

The Frenchtown resident and his wife, Maria, were driving to the Clinton park-and-ride lot shortly before 6 a.m. when, after passing the Clinton A&P supermarket, he saw a green-tinged white ball of light burst across the sky in an easterly direction.

The flash, which lasted between four and six seconds, was as bright as a full moon, he said.

"If you were outside, you were going to see this," he said.

Sarabia wasn't alone. Witnesses as far north as New Hampshire and as far south as Delaware said they saw the fireball, a brighter-than-usual meteor, according to logs on American Meteor Society and Latest Worldwide Meteor/Meteorite News.

"I didn't see anything falling off of it or smoke," Sarabia said, adding that it was three times larger than the North Star.

But it wasn't just a sight for local (Toronto) eyes, the meteor could be seen in Michigan, Chicago, Ottawa, Huntsville and as far as Nevada and Florida.

"I was driving north on 9th Line near Stouffville and I was shocked by a very bright blue/green light that, at first, seemed like it was coming in my direction. I instinctively hit the breaks and then I realized that it was a meteor. It carried on lasting for about 5 seconds and faded out but it was very intense," he explained.

A meteor streaking across the Ohio skies put on quite a show for a few brief seconds Thursday evening.

Reports began coming in just after 10 p.m. on Thursday of a bright object streaking across the sky at about 9:55 p.m.

"It was an incredible sight. It came from the south, streaked over head quickly and then within a second disappeared over Lake Erie," Kathy from Willoughby Hills, Ohio said. She described the sight as a bright white ball with a long, green tail.

Steven from Wooster, Ohio saw it too. He said he also saw "2 or 3 pieces that came off bottom and were traveling at a slower velocity."

The shooting star was observed across portions of Ohio, Southern Ontario, Western Pennsylvania, Ohio & West Virginia.

Steven in Toronto, comments, "Never seen anything like it before. There was a main body of white streaking across the sky, (and) smaller objects near it."

"Just saw a glow over the lake, green blue in colour. (It) looked like a firework at first but we realized it wasn't." said K.J. from Sarnia, Ontario.

Margaret from Perry, Ohio exclaims, "I have seen a few fireballs in my life. Never one that was green. So cool. looked like green sparks coming off initial fireball. Fireball faded with no flash. Glowing green and white that faded to white."

The sight was also seen in Circleville, near Columbus, Ohio.

"It was going horizontal all white, then it exploded in a red- orange It was white glowing trail," said Lloyd Poling.

An asteroid the size of a city block is set to fly by Earth Thursday (June 14).

The near-Earth asteroid 2012 LZ1, which astronomers think is about 1,650 feet wide, will come within 14 lunar distances of Earth Thursday evening.

2012 LZ1 just popped onto astronomers' radar this week. It was discovered on the night of June 10-11 by Rob McNaught and his colleagues, who were peering through the Uppsala Schmidt telescope at Siding Spring Observatory in Australia.

Researchers estimate that the space rock is between 1,000 and 2,300 feet wide. On Thursday evening, it will come within about 3.35 million miles of our planet, or roughly 14 times the distance between Earth and the moon.

The newfound asteroid 2012 KP24 (discovered "yesterday") zoomed by Earth Monday, coming within 32,000 miles (51,000 kilometers) on its closest approach, according to astronomers at NASA's Asteroid Watch at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

"We'll have a close but very safe pass of asteroid 2012 KP24 May 28," scientists with NASA's Asteroid Watch program assured via Twitter.

Asteroid Watch is part of the Near-Earth Object Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

The NEO office oversees the agency's efforts to detect, track and characterize potentially dangerous asteroids or comets that could zoom close to Earth.

The recently discovered asteroid 2012 KP24 measures about 69 feet (21 meters) across and did not pose any threat to Earth during its flyby, NASA scientists said.

But this space rock is not the only one that paid a close visit to our planet this week.

Another small asteroid, called 2012 KT42, flew past Earth early Tuesday. The asteroid came within 8,950 miles (14,400 km) on its closest approach, which easily fits between the Earth and moon's orbit. For comparison, the moon typically circles Earth at a distance of about 240,000 miles (386,000 km).

While asteroid 2012 KT42 was only discovered yesterday, the space rock did not pose any impact threat Earth when it made its closest approach at 3:07 a.m. EDT, NASA scientists said.

Meteor hits Mexico and caused a slight tremor in various locations Veracruz

-Google translated-Both in the State of Mexico and Veracruz, people using Twitter reported the fall of a luminous object seen from the sky.Civil Protection Authorities of Veracruz seeking in the mountainous area north of the state of an object that fell from the sky at about 10 and half of Friday night.Early reports indicate that the impact could be in the community belonging to San Jose Chicharrín Atenco Puebla or in Martinez de la Torre or Tlapacoyan, Veracruz side.However, both states seek brigade which lit up the sky and caused a slight tremor in various locations Veracruz.Witnesses living in martineneces congregations reported that they saw a shooting star in the sky falling at great speed.When they lost sight of the earth shook so deduced that it was a meteorite.While some commented that it was a plane that had crashed, that version could be ruled out given that inhabitants of Veracruz assured by social networks have seen the fall of the object.It is expected that the state authorities succeed in reaching the point where he fell in order to give an official version.SourceTranslated

Over 65 eyewitness accounts ranging from Wisconsin to Manitoba, Canada, during the same time span Friday in which people saw a fireball in the Detroit Lakes area.

The fireball was seen moving east to west and, according to reports, was very bright with a lengthy tail. Colors ranged from blue to green, while some eyewitnesses reported the fireball breaking up into fragments and “fizzling” out.

Most of the area accounts happened around 10 p.m. Friday.

“It was just a very bright and blue ball which went right over our heads,” said Anthony Allguire, who along with Erin Cook, was providing security at the Kirkbride Building in Fergus Falls. “It broke apart and just dissipated. It was pretty awesome.”

Around the same time, Stacy and Derek Lee of Thief River Falls, saw a very similar occurrence.

“My husband and I saw the streaking light on Friday night while sitting in our house in Thief River Falls,” Stacy Lee said in an e-mail. “It was a bright bluish light that streaked through the sky. It had a bit of a tail trailing behind it.”

Several accounts were reported in the Detroit Lakes area, including Ashley Drewes, who lives south of Frazee.

“We were sitting at a bonfire and someone said, ‘Look! A shooting star,’” Drewes said. “But that wasn’t a shooting star because it was so bright. At first, I thought it was a firework going off because it was so bright.”

Yet another eyewitness account came east of Detroit Lakes, near Park Rapids, where Kevin Olson and his brother, Allen, saw it driving back from a late supper in Dorset.

“My brother was driving and he said, ‘Wow, look at that,’” Kevin Olson said. “It was a bright light streaking across the sky and it lasted a couple seconds.

“What really stuck out was how bright it was and the length of the tail.”

Kari and Dan Lane were also driving back home and came to a three-way stop just southwest of Pearl Lake.

“It streaked right in front of us and over the tree line,” Kari Lane recalled. “We just sat there in awe and in silence for a few seconds. It was just really bright and was red and purple, with a little fire trailing in the back. We were waiting for a loud bang, but never heard anything.”

Another account taken from the Meteor Hunter website came from East St. Paul, Manitoba, Canada, by J. Mather at 10 p.m.

“(It lasted) five seconds going ESE (east-southeast) to WNW (west-northwest) facing south. (It was) bright green in color, bright as a firework and definite fragmentation. Observed bright green object break up into smaller parts. Appeared to be very low altitude.”

So with the wide range of sightings throughout a wide swath of area, what in the world was it?

According to Associate Professor and Senior Project Coordinator Juan Cabanela of the Minnesota State University Moorhead astronomy department, it was more than likely a meteor, which was traveling between 15 to 30 miles per second and about 30 miles above land.

“My best guess, it was about one foot to two feet big,” Cabanela said. “If you have seen a meteor shower, those are only the size of a grain of sand, consisting of a cigarette ash.

“But you can see these meteors from up to 30 miles high, so it’s a wide range of distance you can see them.”

The different colors the meteor turned can be due to the immense temperature the object is creating crashing through the earth’s atmosphere, which is up to 30 times faster than a rifle bullet.

With that much pressure the meteor is under and traveling at that kind of speed, most burn up in the atmosphere. But if they do survive and reach earth, it turns into a meteorite.

“It’s something which can be recoverable, but you need to triangulate where it landed, which is difficult to do,” Cabanela said. “If it did make it to the ground, it will not be too big.”

With most of the people who saw Friday night’s space light show being a first-time experience, Cabanela said it is rare, but it’s not entirely uncommon.

“It’s not insanely rare, but people are not trained to look up to the skies,” Cabanela added. “It’s still special to see something like that, though.”

It’s a sentiment that can be agreed upon with everyone who saw the dying meteor racing across the earth’s atmosphere Friday evening.

Skywatchers across the Chicago area reported a streaking fireball in the sky so intense that some thought they’d witnessed a fiery plane crash on the Southeast Side.

Reports of the fireball starting coming in about 8:25 p.m. with over 100 people from Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa reporting the light show.

Descriptions ranged from simply a blue-green fireball to a yellow fireball with a red center and a trailing blue-and-white tail.

John from North Chicago wrote “12sec nw green/blue very bright unknow it only lasted about 12sec but it was a sight to see truly amazing.”

But while many delighted in the display, others thought they’d witnessed something much grimmer as emergency crews responded to 126th Street and Avenue 0 on the Far Southeast Side of the city to investigate a possible plane crash.

A police helicopter was also called to help search Wolf Lake, which sits on the Illinois-Indiana border near the Hegewisch neighborhood.

Searchers found nothing, and authorities soon found that while no aircraft had been reported missing, many skywatchers were reporting a “very bright” meteor falling about 8:20 p.m. and crews stopped their search, the Chicago Fire Department said.

No one from NASA or the National Weather Service could be reached for comment.
